Lifting the Fog

Sitting before the mountain bare A single thread, the clear stream runs cold Until the mists had cleared the air And the grey peaks their heads unfold White clean snow floating like a dream Uncovering and flowing like cream.

dr. Ram, I almost put this lower because you mixed past tense into the third line by using had instead of have. However, your interesting imagery was so awesome to me. I just loved the last two lines of this. Gosh, I loved the first part too. I could just picture the stream as a thread of water! Congrats on your win in my contest.
